A Good Example.
The New York Liquor Dealers’ As-
sociation set a good and timely example
of obedidnce to the law by the organ-
ized aid which it gave to the New York
police on Sunday in enforcing the Ex-
cise law.
By this action the association effectu-
ally refuted the charge which is often
I Beard, that the liquor dealers have no
respect whatever for law. These deal-
ers undoubtedly detest the Excise law.
They look. upon it as oppressive and
unjust. Its rigid enforcement to them
1eans a heavy pecuniary loss. Never-
theless the liquor dealers have banded
together to see that the law, obnoxious
though it be, is duly obeyed. This is
good citizenship.
The example set by the New York
association might well be followed by
the Norwulk association.
known that the law is violated in this
city every W-j;‘l:, and in one place alone
over a hundred men have been counted
going in One Sunday. The members
of the Agenciation know every one of
the violators of the law and if they will
follow the example set by their brethern
in New York they can easily put a stop
to the illegal sale. It would be good
policy on the part of the association,
and such loyalty to the statutes of the
state would highly impress the public.

The Scholar in Politics.
BishOp Potter’s admirable address at
the Union College centennial seems to
convey the idea that the “scholar in
polities” is a recent phenomenon in this
Republic. This is an error. Men of
collegiate training have always stood in
the forefront of publicaffuirs. It was
a college graduate who penned the
Declaration of Independence. College
graduates were chiefly instrumental in
drafting the Federal Constitution. Of
the twenty—three different men who
have occupied the Presidency fifteen
Were graduated from American col-
leges. The members of the Cabinet
hive commonly been men of the same
class. Most of the great political lead-
ers of the country from Thomas Jeffer-
son and Alexander Hamilton down to
Benjamin Harrison and Thomas B.
Reed received a collegiate education.
At every epoch in the hist )ry of this
Republic, in its formation, in its de—
velopment and in its preservation, the
college graduate has becn‘in evidence.
There is no prejudice among the Amer-
ican people against the “scholar in
politics” himself. It is only when his
'- theories run counter to the common
sense and patriotism of the masses that
he becomes an Object of what the elo-
quent Bishop of New York terms _ “fine
disdain.”

gine house, and said that the expense
would not be in excess of $100.

delivered, the bonds Of thecity to Blair
85 Co , and had received $103,099.38 in

tee was instructed to borrow $31,000 on

L. Co. was referred to thc’chairman of
the fire committee with power.
Councilman ‘theler’s action in or-
dering that the city electric lights be
kept burning all night on the nights of
the 3d and 4th of July was approved of
by a unanimous vote.
On motion of Councilman Pinneo it
was voted that the chairman of the
highway, sewer and police committees
be authorized to audit and ordered paid
the bill, becoming due in the several
departments and usually brovided for at
the adjourned meetings of the council.
Councilman Pinneo presented a com-
munication of considerable length from
health Officer Tracy stating that the
city ordinances were lax in properly
defining the powers of the Board of
Health as to the abatement of nuisances
and the ordering by theboard, of con-
nection with sewers. It also called at-
tention to the unsanitary condition of
the outlet of the sewer at the Cross
street bridge. This matter was refer—
red to the sewer committee for investi-
gation.
Councilman Smith recommended the
renumbering of. houses on Elm street,
the expense to be borne :by the city.
The matter was referred back to him
with power. _
A profile map and survey of Issues
Place was presented and adopted.
Councilman Smith reported on the
matterpf the acceptance of Springwood
avenue by the city. Provisions were
made in his report that the avenue was
to be 45 feet wide; that all persons hav-
ing interest in property needed for such
avenue should convey a title of the
same ' to the city ; and that property
owners shall curb and gutter the same
so far as the Water and sewer pipes may
be extended, and that the grade of such
avenue from East avenue to the city
line be to the satisfaction of the chair-
man of the highway committee. The
report was accepted and its provisions
,in detail ordered. ' 7 .
A motion that prevailed was in effect
that a committee be appointed to prepare
a record of the assets of the city, but
for some reason or other such commit-
tee was not then appointed. 4
The police committee recommended
the payment of $46.25 to Captain Wal-
lace Darin, of the police force, as half
pay for the time he was incapacitated
from duty by reason of injuries he sus-
tained in the line of duty. It was the
first claim of the kind ever presented
to the board, but after some discussion
the amount was so voted.
The Board of Health asked that a
new ordinance be enacted giving the
board greater power, and givmg in a
detailed manner the rules that Should
govern the proper sanitation of resi-
dences, etc., in the city.
Clerk Lockwood was of the opinion
that the present ordinance in reference
to the abatement of nuisances covered
all that was asked for in the new ordi-
nance, and said that an ordinance com-
pelling eveiybody to connect their
premises with a sewer would be uncon-
stitutional.
Complaint was made about rapid rid.
ing done by bicyclists on Main street
and We'stjavenue. The matter was re-
ferred with power to the police com- l
mittee.
The city clerk was instructed to pre-
their bicycles with lanterns, the same

The city clerk was also authorized to
order new walks laid where there are
none on East avenue and have defect-
ive ones placed in repair. It was also
ordered that he act in the same man-
ner in reference to the curbing, “gutter-
ing and laying of sidewalks on Butler
street.
Councilman Smith said that the Board
of'Hcalth felt that their hands were
tied in the matter of. compelling the
abatement 'of certain nuisances that
came under their observation and that
the present ordinance was lax in pro—
visions as to the power of the board.
After considerable discussion, it was,
on motion of Councilman Osborn, voted
that the sewer committee confer with
the Board of Health in the matter and
report.
Councilman Pinneo stated that proper
notice for bids on the construction of
three new sewers in the city had been
promulgated.
The council then adjourned without
date. .

JOHNSON’S YCLOPEDIA.
Supt. Foote’s Experience and His
Opinion of the New Work.
Haring used Johnson’s Cyclopedia
for the past eight years I can heartily
recommend it as a most practical and
comprehensive work. My use of the
last edition and a careful examination
of the new revised edition have con-
firmed my estimate that it is the most
satisfactory of cyclopedias before the
public to—day for these reasons, viz :
1. It is up to date. In consulting a
well: of this kind facts. as they are now
are desired.
2. Because of it..surpa3si:1g accur-
acy. Scholars of note, each an expert
i1 his subject, present the important
topics, over the author’s signature.
The latent, reliable information is thus
before the reader.
2. Because of its wide range of top-
ics succinctly treated.
4. Because of its adaptability to the
maturing American boy or girl. It is
American, rich in biography andhis—
tory.
5. Because the busy, practical man
finds it has "a-pick-merup-and-use-me”
value. There is no waste of words.
Every necessary or important fact is
given in concise language.
6. It is convenient for reference.
7. The bibliography of important
tOpics enables the scholar to pursus his
research further.
In these particu’ats and for these
reasons it is in my. opinion incompara-
bly the best for general use of all cy-
clopedias now before the public. The
purchaser of the revised Johnson’s
makes a wise investment.

Alexander Magda—Arrested ‘on a
Serious Charge. ’
Identified By aNumber of People
Yesterday afternoon Officer More-
ho'nse arrested Alexander McLean, a-
carpenter, residing on Bouton street,
South Norwalk, and employed by M~
D. Randall, on the serious charge of
indecent exposure.
For more than a year'complaints have
been made to the police shoot a man
W110 W38 roaming the streets and insult-
ing women. At one time he would ap—
pear on West avenue and at another on
Main street, then agaimnear St. Paul’s
church on the Green.
The police exerted every effort to ap-
prehend the villian. Officers were sent
out in citizens dress and private citizens
attempted to capture him but all efforts
failed. -
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock
Michael Dowd saw a man standing at
the corner Of Main and School streets
acting in a suspicious. manner. He
watched the man and when a lady came
along he was startled to see him grossly
insult her. Dowd secured the services
of James Cowles, Samuel. Nash, Ed-
ward Hefi'ernan and Lyman Hoyt to
watch him while he went in search ,of
Chief Bradley.
. During Dowd’s absence the man left
Main street and walked up North aven-
ue to St. Paul’s church closely followed
by young HOyt on his bicycle. Wheth-
er he suspected from, Hoyt’s actions
that he was following him is not known,
but he did not offer to insult any lady
and soon turned about and retraced his
steps to Main and School streets. Here
he again resumed his insulting prac-
tices.
Dowd having found Chief Bradley
and reported the matter to him the
Chief in company with Officer More-
housc hurried to the scene only to find
that the villian had decamped down
School street to the railroad track
thence to Cross street and across
Brady’s bridge to River street. Chief
Bradley and Officer Morehouse pressed
S. H. Holmes’ delivery wagon into ser-
vice and followed down Crossstreet.
At the intersection of’River street Offi-
cer Morehouse saw McLean turning
the corner into Belden avenue and
when the wagon arrived at Grace
church he slipped out of the rear end
and walked up Belden avenue to meet
him. After passing- McLean the officer
turned and followed him down" West
avenue. As McLean appeared to be
going to South Norwalk Officer More—
house jumped into a passing carriage
and rode down the avenue until he met
Chief Bradley, who had continued
down the avenue as far as the Armory,
returning. H9 informed the Chief Of
McLean’s coming and the two Oflic‘ers
walked up the avenue until they met
him when he was placed under arrest.
As soon as arrested he denied that he
had committed any crime and when
told of the offence he said, “you can’t
prove it.” He again repeated the re-
mark when at police headquarters.
After being cross-examined by Chief
Bradley McLean was taken to the lock-
up on Smith street’and placed behind
the bars.
Later in the evening Judge Hubbell
was called upon to release the prisoner
on bonds and-at 10 o’clock he was re-
leased until the same hour this. morn-
ing on depositing with the court a cash
bond of $50. ’
When the case was called before
Judge Hubbell this morning, McLean
appeared with Herman Quittner as
bondsman, and had the case adjourned
until next Tuesday morning at , 10
o’clock, with bonds of $300.
To the People of Norwalk.
While personalities should generally
be avoided in public print, yet the
destestable attack in. the Sentinel last
evening upon the great misfortune of
my parent cannot be passed over in
silence. It is an old adage among
lawyers when you have no case to
roundly abuse your Opponent.- That is
exactly what the Sentinel has done.
We have made no attack upon that
paper, nor upon the original
Britannica while misrepresentations
have been very successfully
exposed. We have proved'that the
agents of the Sentinel Britannica were
deceiving the maple. The able review
of Messrs. Light and Blanchard stand
unanswered because in every respect
true. Having no case they have resort.
ed to mean personalities. It is t u . m
father is blind. It is also true that he
is well known in every hamlet in thls
state and everywhere honored alike for
cannot hurt this m'ali,'or injure his fam-
ily. It does show a meaness that merits
public contempt.
As to the absurd statement about 40
and 60 per cent. profit,e'very one knows
that can only be true in the case of
pirated editions, it is never true of any
standard work. The character of the
work, we are selling is clearly seen in
testimonials already given‘by- some of
your own number whose opinions are
universally respected. These letters in
all cases were written after personal ex-
amination, and'in no case do we ask the
people to accept our . testimony. This
is our Way pfsel’llug books and it is al-
ways successful. {F.J. BRAINA‘RD.

DEAR SIB: .
Some few days since, I was requested
by a Mr. ‘Brainard, to compare John-
son’s Encyclopedia with EncyCIOpedia
Britannica, in our office, and which
work he said was exactly the same as
the one the Sentinel was about to swin-
dle the public with. Though offered a
liberalfium for'the investigation, I de-
cline to endorse Johnson’s as being a
superior work to Encyclopedia. Britan-
nica, re-print as he calls it, so far as
its treatment of engineering subjects,
.filtration, chemistry and biography are
concerned. Further than this, I’ know
nothing of Johnson’s, but can say that
I have never found “Britannica” Want!

know not his address) to take his books
away. Respectfully Yours,

WASHINGTON, July 2.—It is stated that
Cuban bonds on the Paris bourse are being

poses. The Cuban bonds are issued by
Spain. .
